Built for spraying. It is UV and water resistant and engineered for HVLP and airless spray guns, for precise spray painting indoors or out, as well as painting and renovation work by brush or roller.

The numbers. Q1 publishes a total thickness of 92 microns, a weight of 82 g/m2, a tensile strength of 30 N/cm, 3.5% elongation at break and 1.4 N/cm adhesion to steel.

How long it can stay on. Up to 1 week on sensitive surfaces and up to 2 weeks on common surfaces such as glass, aluminium, PVC and wood, still with a clean, residue free removal. More tapes in masking tapes.

The Brand

About Q1 Tapes

Q1 Tapes is a masking tape brand made by PPM Industries, a tape manufacturer founded in 1993 with production and converting sites in Italy and India, and part of Atlas Tapes Group since 2024. Q1 launched in the UK in 2016 as a premium masking brand for automotive refinishing, entered the US market a year later and added a UK painting and decorating range in 2018. Its range is built with bodyshops, painters and decorators, around collision and SMART repair work.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Q1 Precision Line masking tape online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop, on 50m rolls in two widths: 24mm and 50mm.

Masking up with Q1 tape

Before you mask. Clean and dry the surface first: tape only grips as well as the panel, trim or glass it sits on, and dust or polish residue under the edge lets paint creep.

Laying the edge. Run the tape in one smooth pull rather than short stretched pieces, then press the edge down firmly with a fingernail or a plastic card so paint cannot bleed underneath.

Which width. The 24mm roll suits fine lines, badges, trim and window rubbers; the 50mm roll covers wider edges and holds masking paper or sheeting in place.

Taking it off. Peel the tape back on itself at a low angle, slowly, once the paint is touch dry, so the line stays crisp. Do not leave it on longer than Q1's limits for the surface.

For detailers. Masking tape also protects rubber seals, plastic trim and badges from polish and compound when you machine polish a car.
